Firefighters even spoke to the woman, but when they reached the bottom of the well, nobody was there.

I think they should have dug a hole in the bottom of the Well, she may be buried there!

I wonder why these type of things always happen at 3:30 am. It's just when weird things happen and ghosts surface. There's got to be a reason.

Accounts that happen after dark get more attention, they’ve always had the most popular appeal. The truth is that people have been reporting apparitions at all times of the day or night for centuries. In that regard there doesn’t seem to be a discernible pattern.

Not to mention there is always somewhere 3.30am some place in the world...

A reasonable explanation for the paranormal or just a reason, including mythical? If it's the first, why people are freaking out at night, that's because predators are hunting for monkeys at night, and we all still carry the same genes. If it's the second, in the antiquity it was usually explained that the night connects our world with the underworld, it's dark there and there you know, so those who dwell in the dark are able to go out without fear of being exterminated by the Sun-God, the ruler of the living.

No i really noticed more weird things happen around that time and its not just me these stories like this happen to other people too. Nothing mythical about looking at the time and noticing. Just wondering why.

May be people expect the see weird things in the dark, most of these stories are vague, they are about feelings, uncertain sounds or visuals. Those can be explained by that in the dark there is just less definitive information. Plus the aforementioned predator avoidance instinct plays role in exaggerating vague data.

[Chaldon]

Still, this particular incident with the woman in the well, is certainly not easily explainable from any point of view. Besides if it's either a trick somehow played with the firefighters, or they are playing a trick with the media themselves. The Halloween season is close at hand after all.

By the way, although I don't like to talk about it, in some of my home video recordings there are noises which are quite inexplicable. It's always the same sound, like some gibberish word screamed in whisper near the microphone. I don't know what it is, but I have at least two certain recordings of it, one was taken with a video camera at my former apartment, and the other with a professional microphone in one of my music recording sessions in my former summer cottage. What's more interesting is that I've seen a video on YouTube about some mine exploration where exactly the same sound was heard, I remember that video was widely discussed 5 or 6 years ago on the paranormal channels like Slapped Ham.

Then all their sense's focus on that 'reality'. It's how a pile of laundry becomes a demon in the middle of the night.

I don't know what it is

Probably auditory pareidolia. The brain trying to make something familiar out of noise.

It's too loud and distinct to be pareidolia. The only logical explanation is that I accidentally swept my hand over the mike, may be a sleeve of my shirt got over it or something like that. Although it's sounds unnerving, like a demon's whisper, it's actually a very good explanation, supported by the fact that I didn't hear anything at all with my own ears, and I don't think my ears are worse detectors of any sound than the synthetic diaphragm of the microphone. I am an electronic hobbyist myself, so I know how the stuff works down to preamps and microcontrollers: there is nothing magical which could make it a better ghost sensor than human ears.

UPDATE: Here is the sound from my home video: https://disk.yandex.ru/d/A3_vkN3NdUlKKQ. Certainly not a hand moving over the microphone, but it certainly comes from the side of the window (although it was closed), and it's followed by the noise of a car passing by. The floor is concrete, covered with linoleum, so it can't be creaking of wood planks. I was alone in the room. It could be anything outside the window, I think. The only problem is that it's the exactly the same sound which I recorded in my summer cottage. That what freaked me out when I discovered it while working on my session records. Anyway I think it's absolutely not important and does not prove anything, that's why I had safely forgotten about it all.

A pipe going to this well with someone talking on the other side of it can easily trick them... a small bluetooth speaker too.

Nothing to wonder about. There are many questions when it comes to this subject, but this isn’t one of them. 

You’re right, nothing mythical about looking at the time, whether it’s day or night it doesn’t make a difference when it comes to reports of apparitions. 

Popular books and reality tv shows have popularized the idea that ghosts appear more often at night because it helps to promote the atmosphere of dread and “spookiness” they’re trying to create.

Sounds like a dog barking to me.

Running a speaker it there can't be real hard to do. Hey, this is Mexico. They are into spoofing as much as the Brits

I would think it's a punishable offense to call firefighters out to a fake call. Also, pretty sure they would have found any Bluetooth speaker, nevermind wires.

I know midnight is supposed to be the witching hour, but in paranormal circles, and investigators, 3:00 a.m is when the most activity happens. I don't know why.

 The reason investigators prefer night investigations is because it's much quieter. No birds, less traffic, etc. Also the dark hypes up your other senses compensating for lack of sight.

You don't think they (firefighters) wouldn't have thought of that after finding no one down there? Really?

[quiXilver]

Firefighters and police folk are not prone to over imagination.

This one is rather compelling. 

 

[csspwns]

The only place I see this is being reported is Zovalo and there are no firsthand accounts from the firefighters and officers themselves. Seems to be sensationalism from the media reporting inaccurate events.

One of the men was a ventriloquist, having a little fun.

3 to 4 am is the witching hour.
